Load chunk of xmldata in datagrid

[ameen.abdullah]

Hi Guys,

I have a xml file, from which i want a node to be populated in a
datagrid. whats the easiest way to do this??

Here is a sample of xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<script version="1.1">
<jobs>
<job name="Job1"/>
<job name="Job2"/>
</jobs>
<tables>
<table name="Table">
<columns>
<column name=Col1' />
<column name=Col2'/>
<column name=Col3'/>
</columns>
</table>
</tables>
</script>

Now, I want to populate the datagrid with
tables/table/columns/column@name..

Another question.. Can i add checkboxes in datagrid??

Thanks in advance..

I would try and load the xml into a DataSet class. I think the function is
<<DataSetInstance>>.ReadXml().
This would probably give you a dataset with a number of tables
(jobs,job,tables,table,columns,column)
You might want to explicitly design the schema for the dataset in order to
have more control over the table creation. Once you have a Dataset you can
bind the required table to the Datagrid. Also, it is possible to have
checkboxes in a Datagrid, you'll have to look into template columns.
